The first ever ratings of Dubai universities has been revealed by Dubai’s Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) on Wednesday.

Following Tuesday’s announcement that it has launched a new Dubai Higher Education Classification system, based on quality ratings, KHDA unveiled its evaluation of 17 out of 25 international branch campuses in phase 1. The institutions have been evaluated by covering 282 programs studied by 16,517 students (51.5 per cent of students enrolled in international branch campuses in Dubai).

According to the first-ever ratings, three institutions achieved 5-star rating, eight institutions achieved 4-star rating, three institutions received 3-star rating, two achieved 2-star rating and one received a star-rating.
